4.2 Posology and method of administration
_Adults (including the elderly):_
Treatment should be started with 200 micrograms of Physiotens in the
morning. The dose may be titrated
after three weeks to 400 micrograms, given as one dose or as divided
doses (morning and evening) until a
satisfactory response has been achieved. If the response is still
unsatisfactory after a further three weeks'
treatment, the dosage can be increased up to a maximum of 600
micrograms in divided doses (morning
and evening).
A single dose of 400 micrograms of Physiotens and a daily dose of 600
micrograms in divided doses
(morning and evening) should not be exceeded.
In patients with moderate renal dysfunction (GFR above 30 ml/min, but
below 60 ml/min), the single
dose should not exceed 200 micrograms and the daily dose should not
exceed 400 micrograms of
moxonidine.
The tablets should be taken with sufficient liquid. As the intake of
food has no influence on the
pharmacokinetic properties of moxonidine, the tablets may be taken
before, during or after the meal.
Paediatric population
Physiotens is not recommended for use in children and adolescents
below 18 years due to lack of data on
